Parsons: The league owes James 11 MVPs. Detailed analysis of whether the league owes James MVP

NBA officially announced the 2024-2025 regular season MVP, with Alexander from the Thunder being elected.

For this reason, former NBA player Chandler Parsons said that Jokicz is the NBA's best player, not Alexander! At the same time, he also said that if the MVP is evaluated according to the standards of the best player, James will probably have about 15-16 MVPs.

The real situation is that James has obtained 4 MVPs. According to Parsons, the league owes James 11-12 MVPs.

Is this Parsons talking nonsense about traffic, or is it true? We might as well analyze it in detail.

James entered the NBA in 2003. Starting from the 2003-2004 season to this season's 2024-2025 season, James played in the NBA for a total of 22 seasons. In these 22 seasons, is James worthy of 15-16 MVPs?

First of all, several seasons are ruled out:

2003-2004 season, James' rookie season cannot even enter the playoffs, and the best rookie is still controversial, so don't mention the MVP.

2004-2005 season, James couldn't even enter the playoffs. In that era when flowers were blooming, he could pick any player better than him, which would definitely have nothing to do with the MVP.

In the 2005-2006 season, James made the playoffs for the first time in his career, fourth in the East, and Nash was the assist king. He led the Suns with a distorted lineup to second in the West (the real record is third, ranking second). It is obvious that Nash must be above James.

2006-2007 season, although he finally led the team to the playoffs, it is a pity that the regular season MVP did not look at the playoff performance. The regular season MVP that season was no longer controversial.

In the 2018-2019 season, James came to the West for the first time. The Lakers' record has not changed much from James before joining, and he can't even make it in the playoffs. Such a performance is impossible to compete for MVP.

2021-2022 season, the Lakers' luxurious lineup cannot even enter the playoffs. How could James be a candidate for MVP?

In these 6 seasons, James is 100% unlikely to be the MVP, nor will he be the best player of the season. He has nothing to do with the MVP!

Booler season:

2018-2019 season, Antetokounmpo's data was comprehensive, the team's record was the first in the league, and was elected as MVP;

2019-2020 season, Antetokounmpo's data was comprehensive, the team's record was the first in the league, and Lianzhuang MVP.

James shouldn't have any objections in these two seasons, right? Because James is in the same situation in the 2008-2009 season and the 2009-2010 season, if the MVP of these two seasons is not given to Antetokounmpo, then the MVP of the 2008-2009 season and the 2009-2010 season cannot be given to James.

has lost 2 seasons, a total of 8 seasons, which means that there are no other seasons to discuss. James has at most 14 MVPs. There is no suspense, and you don’t even need to analyze it to know that Parsons is just for traffic, just like the one I said back then, “Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6…”

You can stay at the Heat for 7 seasons before you say this.

Which one can James question in the remaining years of MVP?

Jokic's 3 MVPs, Embiid's MVP, and Alexander's MVP this season may be controversial, but the object of the controversy has nothing to do with James.

Curry's unanimous MVP in the 2015-2016 season, can James hit the ball? It's definitely impossible.

Curry's MVP in the 2014-2015 season was the first record in the league, and he couldn't get into it.

Ross' MVP in the 2010-2011 season, the Big Three can't even get the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, which is unreasonable.

Controversy about MVP

In fact, there is indeed some controversy in the regular season MVP, especially in recent seasons, where subjectivity is too obvious. However, the league does not owe James any MVP.

4 MVPs are already James' limit.

So Parsons is purely a fraudulent traffic, as the saying goes, "If you have money, you are afraid of anything."
